i have to admit, i've been lazy with ICRA codes. i will stop that from here on out. the problem is that i know a bunch of parents with teenage kids, and not one uses any kind of filtering software - not one!
so unless the u.s. government makes filtering software the law for parents, i guess i felt like all it did was show we meant well.
I have no statistics on the matter, but i would think the reason why they got caught is that they live in the US. Most foriegn cheaters can't be caught. You identify them by a domain or an ip, and two days later they're up to their same tricks.Quote:

Actually i gotta step in and say most of the 'cheaters' and 'low lifes' in the industry who have been caught scamming webmasters in the past live in the US.
Of course thats not to negate that there is a slightly higher chance of international webmasters cheating too.

there was a letter in this weeks IT section of The Australian by a guy who thought, just for a fleeting moment, that he finally defeated spam when he saw two weekends ago that his spam email was minimal, but then he got a flood of it the next day which was July 6th (which is the 5th in the USA).
He concluded the reason for his light spam day was the July 4th weekend where all the US spammers took a holiday weekend. No its not conclusive but its interesting, cuz I found the exact same thing!
